In Conversation with JACKIE CLUNE discussing The Rocky Horror Show at the Palace Theatre

We chatted to Jackie Clune, the narrator of The Rocky Horror Show at the Palace Theatre, Manchester. Karen Ryder asks the questions.
Australian superstar Jason Donovan comes to Manchester in Richard O’Brien’s legendary rock ‘n’ roll musical, The Rocky Horror Show, as part of a new world tour. The legendary performer reprises his iconic role as the captivating Frank-n-Furter across the UK, following a sold-out Australian Tour in 2024, alongside Motherland star Jackie Clune (Just For One Day, Mandy, The Great Escaper) as the Narrator.
Having been seen by over 35 million theatregoers, The Rocky Horror Show is the story of two squeaky clean college kids – Brad and his fiancée Janet. When by a twist of fate, their car breaks down outside a creepy mansion whilst on their way to visit their former college professor, they meet the charismatic Dr Frank-n-Furter. It is an adventure they’ll never forget, filled with fun, frolics, frocks, and frivolity.
Directed by Christopher Luscombe, The Rocky Horror Show is the biggest party and features timeless classics, including Sweet Transvestite, Dammit Janet, and of course, the pelvic thrusting showstopping Time Warp.
